US Lawmakers Complain to Biden that EU Tech Rules Unfairly Target American Firms
-
Bipartisan US congressional representatives sent a letter to President Biden complaining that the EU's Digital Markets Act unfairly targets American tech companies.
-
The letter argues that the DMA favors European and foreign companies over American ones, including Chinese and Russian firms.
-
It contends that large Chinese tech firms like Tencent, Alibaba, and Huawei should have been designated as "gatekeepers" under the DMA.
-
The representatives believe Samsung should have been labeled a gatekeeper despite arguments that Samsung Internet Browser doesn't qualify as a core platform service.
-
The letter urges Biden to investigate how the EU's "digital sovereignty" agenda damages American economic and security interests.
